Golden Triangle Landfill

Golden Triangle Landfill on Labelle Road is Beaumont's local landfill, used by residents and commercial haulers for final disposal. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality oversees facilities like this across the state, so expect the kind of operation typical of a landfill rather than a small drop-off site.

You'll pass a scale and usually an entrance station; landfills typically charge tipping fees by weight so vehicles often stop more than once. Pull up with trailers hitched and be prepared to back into a dumping area-large trucks and heavy equipment are common and the ground can be dusty or muddy depending on the weather. Weekends and spring cleanups often have the longest waits, so allow extra time on busy days. The site looks like big dirt cells and piles rather than a tidy recyclable center, so wear good shoes and plan for an outdoor, industrial setting.
